Joker Poker

Doug: Brian.

Brian: That would be Luigi, the more underrated of the Mario Bros.

Doug: And that would be correct.

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Brian, the all important decision is yours -- left or right card?

Brian: I will take the right card.

Doug: Right card for you.

 


BRIAN


MATT



Doug: Matt of course gets the left. Brian, a King or 10's the best thing for you to get that straight. Let's have a look at Brian's last card.

 


BRIAN


MATT



Doug: A Queen. We'll call that Joker a Queen for trips -- but it won't help. Matt's three Kings are better for 25 points.

MATT

(ding; audience applause)

Doug: Just for the heck of it, what was Matt's last card, Deej?

 


BRIAN


MATT



(scattered "woahs" from the crowd)

Doug: Oh, Brian, had you picked the left card, you would've had a straight. But Matt ends up with four natural Kings. I don't think we've ever had four of a kind naturally.

In any event, we're not done because no one has 100 points. Let's get there through another Poker Run.

(motorcycle sfx)

Doug: Fifteen points a question in the Poker Run. But we'll augment the value to 20 if one of these next two cards is a face card -- 25 if both are faces. If a Joker comes, we'll call it a face card. D.J., what's coming down the chute?

D.J.: The Queen of Hearts and the Ace of Hearts.

Doug: So that means 20 points a question. Matt needs three for a win; Brian needs four. Let's decide the game with this Poker Run -- now.

Elvis Presley scored a hit with the song...
\ "Hound Dog"

Doug: Correct. Next question.

Stella is the name...
\ shouted in the last scene of the movie "A Streetcar Named Desire"
\ of one of Jack Tripper's original female roommates on "Three's Company"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Matt buzzes in)

Doug: Matt.

Matt: Shouted in the last scene of the movie "A Streetcar Named Desire".

(ding)

Doug: Right you are.

Gemini is the name of...
\ one of the "American Gladiators" from the original series

(Brian buzzes in)

Doug: Brian.

BRIAN
MATT

(ding)

Doug: Right on. They're running neck and neck.

The first American League baseball game involved a team from...
\ New York
\ Boston
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Matt buzzes in)

Doug: Matt.

Matt: Nome of the above.

(ding)

Doug: That's right. Game was between Chicago and Cleveland. Chicago beat Cleveland 8-2. Matt's one away from the championship. Brian needs two.

When making a list of cast members of the movie "Duck Soup", you must include...
\ Groucho Marx
\ Richard Marx
\ all of the above
\ none of the above

(Matt buzzes in)

Doug: Matt for the game.

Matt: Groucho.

(ding)

Doug: You are the new champion!

 

 

 

BRIAN
MATT

(dings; audience cheers)

Doug: Congratulations, Matt. You're our new champion. CY$40,000 can be won in these next few moments -- and then CY$80,000 in Deuces Wild. Best of luck as we move along.

To Brian, we thank you for playing. You're headed to Jamaica and you just collected CY$650 in this round for the 65 points. Add it all up and your winnings total CY$27,800. A nice hand for Brian Henegar.

(audience cheers)

Doug: Matt, you're the new champ. So that means...

 
 



 
 

Doug: ...you may pick *two* letters in "POKER". If you find CY$7500 and CY$5000, I'll double it all for CY$25,000. Let's have the letters.

Matt: P K.

Doug: P and K. Let's go to P first.

 
 



 
 

(rimshot; ca-ching) (scattered cheers)

Doug: CY$5000. If...

the

letter

K

hides

seven

thousand

five-

hundred

cyber-

dollars,

the

total

payoff

is

twenty-

five

thousand

cyber-

dollars.

Let's

see

what's

behind

the

letter

K.

 
 



 
 

(rimshot; ca-ching) (audience groans)

Doug: CY$1000. Well, the total payoff is six grand. Now let's play for CY$15,000 as we bring on Joker.

 
 



 
 

(FF reveal sfx)

Doug: One of those letters hides the Joker. Find it and you win the side pot worth CY$15,000. The others hide a trip, cyber-money, a mystery card and the new Grand Gamble. Where's that Joker?

Matt: 1.

Doug: Number 1. Is the Joker there?

 
 



 
 

(ding)

Doug: Ah, well, no Joker. But you have a chance to take the Grand Gamble. Where was the Joker?

 
 



 
 

(ding)

Doug: Number 5. BTW, since the Joker was not found, we'll add CY$5000 to the side pot -- making it worth CY$20,000. But let's see if you can win in the Grand Gamble. We're setting it up and we have...
